Driverless cars and a cashless society,

[CK_John]

2020 is going to be boring.

1. Human beings seem so content to give up the last few shreds of their autonomy.

2. Screw the driverless cars, the realy threat is a cashless society. Negitive interst rates and....

the fact that the banks can now reach into your savings or checking accounts and take you money to make the shareholders of the banks whole if they go bust or crash the economy like they did in 2008. They're coming for your money folks. Negative interest rates are coming to the US just like they are in Japan and in Europe. Negative interest rates are there to force you to spend your money and not to save it. Larry Summers has called for the elimination of the $100.00 dollar bill to make it hard for people to hoard their money at home.

3. Hasten the fucking day

No more grubby germ-ridden easily lost or stolen tokens and a massive diminution of the carnage caused by incompetents who should never have been granted licenses. Less crime, less excuse to be abused and harassed by bored psychopaths who are either con-men or traffic cops, or both. Cheaper insurance, better protection against fraudulent swindlers, more relaxed commutes and more control over your budget. Plenty of new entertainment options will be there no doubt for Sterling Moss wannabes and business opportunities charging them, electronically natch, to get their merry little kicks where they are no danger to anyone else on the public highways for once. Where do I sign up?
